This Is the Ballad |
This is the ballad of drinking rye whiskey |
And sleeping till 2 on a warm afternoon |
Telling your journal how badly you miss me |
And you can’t believe I’ll be coming so soon |
This is the ballad of anticipation |
Waiting and waiting and waiting and then |
Finally getting the one you’ve been wanting |
And guess what it’s time to start waiting again |
This is the ballad we all must sing |
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring |
This is the ballad of long conversations |
Heavy with silence and shuddering breaths |
You’re self destructing your voice is all shaken |
My reservations are all I have left |
This is the ballad of trying to grow flowers |
So life will seem like it has meaning and stuff |
Finding out all of those beautiful flowers |
Will never be anywhere close to enough |
This is the ballad we all must sing |
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring |
This is the ballad of drinking rye whiskey |
Distilled in a barn that burned down around it |
Find myself saying what I should be thinking |
Your figure is flawless I’m so glad I found it |
This is the ballad we all must sing |
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring |
While we wait to find out what tomorrow will bring |
I can’t wait to find out what tomorrow will bring |
